...country that a reserve of officers, suitable for service with the various types of armament, be built up in our universities and colleges. This can be done by taking advantage of the military value of existing courses and adding thereto such military subjects as may be necessary.

For this reason it is well to convert your present insurance into one of the standard forms as soon as possible, in order to take advantage of the lower rates. Premiums which are paid up to the time of conversion merely cover the cost of the term insurance and have no cash value when changing to one of the permanent policies...
